There are plenty of information sites.
Yeah, like I said earlier you're conflating aquaculture with
fisheries management. Fisheries management has come a long way
from simple "put and take" in most parts of the US, although
some states still do it and some anglers still follow the
hatchery trucks around and fish with "pellet lures". On the
other hand there is a lot of fishable water that would have
no fish at all if not for fish hatcheries and the economy of
northern Wisconsin would take an enormous hit if not for the
annual release of thousands of musky fry from the hatcheries.
Besides, when folks are fishing stocked waters that makes
more room for me on wild waters. ;-)
